This 1961 Chevrolet Corvette is powered by a fuel-injected 283ci V8 paired with a four-speed manual transmission. Stopping power is provided by four-wheel drums. The three-spoke steering wheel frames a 160-mph speedometer and a tachometer with a 6,600-rpm redline as well as gauges for coolant temperature, amperage, oil pressure, and fuel level. The five-digit odometer shows 51k miles.

The 283ci V8 was factory equipped with Rochester mechanical fuel injection and a high-lift camshaft for a rating of 315 horsepower when new. The CS suffix is consistent with a 283ci V8 rated at 315 horsepower and designated for a 1961 Corvette with Rochester mechanical fuel injection, a high-lift camshaft, and a manual transmission.

Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission and a Positraction limited-slip differential.
